Jahzara plays 3 sports, and does so with talent, poise and determination. She is talented in her own right, but makes her teammates better!
Thank you for generously supporting Jahzara in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Jahzara loves the intensity and fast pace of the game. She thrives in high-pressure moments—whether it’s making a clutch pass, driving to the basket, or locking down on defense. Basketball brings out her competitive fire and her leadership, especially when the game is on the line. In volleyball, she loves the rhythm and teamwork. Softball gives Jahzara a chance to slow things down and focus on precision and mental toughness.
Paige Bueckers inspires Jahzara because she plays with heart, confidence, and skill—and she never gives up, no matter the challenge. Jahzara sees in Paige someone who leads with humility but dominates with strength. Whether it’s Paige’s smooth handles, sharp court vision, or fearless playmaking, Jahzara admires how she stays calm under pressure and lifts her team when it matters most. Paige’s comeback from injuries shows Jahzara that resilience and hard work pay off.
You're proud of Jahzara because you've watched her grow—not just in skill, but in character. Her journey as an athlete has demanded more than physical ability; it has required resilience, discipline, and emotional growth. You're proud because she has learned to face adversity head-on, to bounce back from setbacks with determination instead of frustration.
